Authorities continued Monday to search for the body of a swimmer
who disappeared Sunday in Grapevine Lake, and they released the
name of another man who apparently drowned at Lewisville Lake on
the same day.

Meanwhile, a man killed Sunday in a personal watercraft
collision at Eagle Mountain Lake was identified Monday, but the
name of the woman killed with him was not released.

Despite high winds and hordes of Memorial Day revelers, no more
deaths were reported on area lakes Monday.

Balint John Gash, 24, of The Colony disappeared in Lewisville
Lake about 6 p.m. Sunday after he jumped from a boat in Party Cove
near West Lake Park. It took rescue divers nearly two hours to find
his body in 13 feet of water, authorities said.

The Tarrant County medical examiner's office had not ruled on
his cause of death Monday, but authorities believe he drowned. Gash
was not wearing a life jacket, authorities said.

On Grapevine Lake on Monday, Texas Parks and Wildlife personnel
and area police trolled with two sonar boats searching for a man in
his 20s who disappeared in a similar accident Sunday evening.

Neal Bieler, who oversees Parks and Wildlife patrol operations
at several area lakes, said the man jumped from a boat to swim but
could not make it back.

"That thunderstorm came in and blew the boat away from him,"
Bieler said. "It was just a bad situation."

The man was not wearing a life jacket, he said. "If he had been,
we wouldn't be out here today."

Gusting winds and choppy waters caused by high boat traffic
Monday hampered the search, and crews were expected to resume
looking today.

"It's harder to use sonar with the waves," he said. "It works
best when the water's still."

Some of the searchers responded to another boating incident
Monday. Five people were rescued from a boat that began taking on
water about 50 yards off shore.

Off-duty Arlington firefighters Eric Chinchilla and Brad Joseph
were among those who rushed to help. The men said children on the
boat were not wearing life jackets.

Meanwhile, authorities continued Monday to investigate the
collision of two personal watercrafts on Eagle Mountain Lake
northwest of Fort Worth that resulted in the deaths of a man and a
woman.

The Tarrant County medical examiner's office identified the man,
who was operating one of the watercrafts, as Richard Minnaar, 22 of
Keller. An autopsy found he died from a skull fracture.

The pair were riding together when they collided about 8:30 p.m.
with two men on another craft in the Walnut Creek cove on the
southwest side of the lake, said Chad Lorance, spokesman for the
Tarrant Regional Water District.
